Pune: Water Cuts on Friday for Maintenance

Residents in areas under the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) will experience water cuts on Friday, May 24th, due to planned maintenance activities. The water supply is expected to be restored at low pressure on Saturday morning, as per a press release issued by the PMC on Tuesday.

Maintenance Activities

The PMC will be conducting essential repairs and electrical maintenance at several key pumping stations, including:

  • Wadgaon
  • Warje
  • Pune Cantonment
  • SNDT
  • Parvati
  • Bhama Askhed
  • New Holkar Bridge

These maintenance activities are critical to ensuring the long-term efficiency and reliability of the city’s water supply system, necessitating the temporary interruption in water service.

Statement from the Water Supply Department

“The works are part of regular maintenance,” stated the head of PMC’s water supply department. “The civic administration has not taken any decision to implement cuts for better management of water supply during the summer season. A meeting with the irrigation department will be held in June to review water availability and the arrival of the monsoon.”

Implications for Residents

Residents are advised to plan accordingly for the water cut, ensuring they have sufficient water stored for their needs during the maintenance period. The PMC has assured that water supply will resume at low pressure by Saturday morning, gradually returning to normal.

Future Considerations

While the current water cuts are solely for maintenance purposes, the PMC will be closely monitoring water availability in the coming months. The meeting with the irrigation department in June will be crucial for assessing the water situation and planning for the monsoon season.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official PMC communications and to conserve water where possible to mitigate the impact of these necessary maintenance activities.
